3. Kalau brother teliti membaca kesimpulan yang saya bagikan, jelas disitu bahwa Veltman menuliskan bahwa yang dituliskan oleh Ellen White bukanlah Replika melainkan sebuah komposisi karya tulisan yang disesuaikan/customized....silahkan baca sendiri.
Future studies will no doubt bring to our attention not only more sources but also a greater understanding of Ellen White's creative role. With the aid of her literary assistants, she built out of the common quarry of stone not a replica of another's work but rather a customized literary composition that reflects the particular faith and Christian hope that she was called to share with her fellow Adventists and the Christian community at large.
Jadi kalau brother gunakan penelitian Dr Veltman, seharusnyalah brother juga menerima kesimpulannya. Jangan dikutip2 sebagian hasil penelitian sebagian, sementara kesimpulan utama ditolak.
Jawaban :
Bro, anda sadar apa yang disimpulkan oleh Veltman dalam kesimpulan yang anda sampaikan link-nya itu?
Saya hanya copy-paste 4 saja ya (baca saja di link yang Bro kirim, ada disitu) :
DID ELLEN QUOTE KNOWN WORKS OF FICTION IN THE DESIRE OF AGES?
From what writers did Ellen White borrow? What kinds of books were they writing? One obviously fictional
account is Ingraham's The Prince of the House of David, a work that Albert Schweitzer referred to as
one of the
edifying romances on the life of Jesus intended for family reading. Ingraham cast his workas a collection of letters written by an eyewitness in Palestine to her father in Egypt.
Komentar Melangkah Pasti: disini ditulis bahwa EGW mencontek atau meng-kutip-lah, terserah kata yang mau dipakai, dari
CERITA FIKSI. Jadi sebagian tulisan dalam DA diambil dari cerita fiksi.
Ellen White used a minimum of 23 sources of various types of literature, including fiction, in her writings on
the life of Christ.
Komentar Melangkah Pasti : 23
William Hanna's popular work was designed to be "practical and devotional."9 No wonder that parallels
from Hanna are to be found in 13 of the 15 DA chapters we investigated.
Komentar : 13 dari 15 pasal dari Desire of Ages itu ada paralel-nya dari buku William Hanna
In practical terms, this conclusion declares that one is not able to recognize in Ellen White's writings on the
life of Christ any general category of content or catalog of ideas that is unique to her.
Komentar : dak ada karya "unik" EGW, yang dia terima langsung dari Tuhan, walaupun diakuinya begitu.
Itu kutipan yang saya ambil dari konklusi Veltman dalam tautan yang anda kirim.
